Sounds and Meanings: Reading Włodzimierz Szturc

Abstracts

EN

The author proposes a dialogic reading of Włodzimierz Szturc’s book Diapazony i fonosfery [Diapasons and Phonospheres] (Kraków 2020), interlinking its motifs with Shakespeare’s The Tempest, as well as with the philosophical reflection of Polish Romantic author Juliusz Słowacki and the poetry of Paul Celan. His main focus is the meeting of spirit and matter in the acoustic matter of words. The author points out that this interpretation allows texts to resound, to resonate, creating meanings which, if not different from those effected by semantics, in any case substantially mediate them. He stresses that Szturc’s hermeneutics emphasizes listening, and especially the duty of silently listening out for the world. If this duty is disregarded, one speaks forcing others to silence. The author considers this as a fundamental mechanism – not only hermeneutical, but also political. Using the example of Shakespeare’s texts, he argues that one who fails to hear a voice other than his own will sooner or later bring himself and the world to the edge of an abyss.
